Calling All Script Writers

Ed Marquette <marquette.ed@...>
About half the time, when I need a script, what I really need is a
macro. I am stumped with the simplest problem. I have an application which will work fine if only I pass the down arrow through to the application, not permitting JAWS to process it. I know this works because I've done it manually. So, I want a simple script, which I've assigned to Windows down arrow. The first script command is the ByPass command, and I think that works. I'm then thinking I should send the TypeKey command followed with the parameter (DownArrow). So the line reads: TypeKey (DownArrow) Well, I get a compile error on the TypeKey command. I think I am overlooking something pretty simple. as the parameter. Sent from my Yoga IdeaPad I.

Try this line: TypeKey ("DownArrow") This compiled for me. You were missing the quotes around downarrow. On 7/27/2015 10:51 PM, Ed Marquette via Jfw wrote:

Also, if all you want to do is pass a key through you can simply

assign the PassKeyThrough script to the key in the .jkm for the application. I'm not aware of a way to use the key manager to accomplish that but it's not a hard thing to do. I use the script editor, open the .jkm in question then add a line like: Alt+DownArrow=PassKeyThrough On 7/28/15, john.falter via Jfw <jfw@...> wrote:

Thanks for this tip. I'm trying to apply it to iTunes move forward and backward through a track. The command is control+alt+LeftArrow and control+alt+RightArrow. Jaws assigns those keys to table commands. So, we have to press passkey a lot if moving forward and back through a track.

I tried it but now the keystrokes skip to the next or previous tracks instead. Also, it looks like the table commands don't work in iTunes help, even after I removed the keys from itunes.jkm. Looks like they mean it when Jaws worns me this action will overwright the table commands. How do one make key commands for an application that conflict with Jaws? I don't get it. Had to remove Jaws totally as I don't know. Bob On 7/28/2015 2:54 PM, Soronel Haetir via Jfw wrote:
